Lots og JWs do have oral sex anyway. But they dont feel like telling the elders of course.
And some JWs lie about their clean conduct because they whant to ge married in the hall...
Beeing a JW brings a lot of interesting aspects to life.

I remember the "brother" I was studying with told me that oral sex was wrong. I thought that was kinda weird. Why would God care if I had oral sex?
As far as where it says it in the Watchtower, we'll need Blondie on this one.

welcome! the piece of advice i would give to you is just to read some ex-JWs' testimonies and you'll see how it is inside the organization through the eyes of people who had been there. it's not as pretty as they tell you. be careful and think of it.

w83 3/15 p. 31 Honor Godly Marriage! ***What, though, if one mate wants or even demands to share with his or her partner in what is clearly a perverted sex practice? The above-presented facts show that porneia involves unlawful sexual conduct outside the marital arrangement. Thus, a mate?s enforcing perverted acts, such as oral or anal sex, within the marriage would not constitute a Scriptural basis for a divorce that would free either for remarriage. Even though a believing mate is distressed by the situation, yet that one?s endeavor to hold to Scriptural principles will result in a blessing from Jehovah. In such cases it may be helpful for the couple to discuss the problem frankly, bearing in mind especially that sexual relations should be honorable, wholesome, an expression of tender love. This certainly should exclude anything that might distress or harm one?s mate.?Ephesians 5:28-30; 1 Peter 3:1, 7.
As already stated, it is not for elders to "police" the private marital matters of couples in the congregation. However, if it becomes known that a member of the congregation is practicing or openly advocating perverted sex relations within the marriage bond, that one certainly would not be irreprehensible, and so would not be acceptable for special privileges, such as serving as an elder, a ministerial servant or a pioneer. Such practice and advocacy could even lead to expulsion from the congregation. Why?
Galatians 5:19-21 lists many vices that are not classed as porneia, and which could lead to one?s being disqualified from God?s Kingdom. Among them are "uncleanness" (Greek, akatharsia, signifying filthiness, depravity, lewdness) and "loose conduct" (Greek, aselgeia, signifying licentiousness, wantonness, shameless conduct). Like porneia, these vices, when they become gross, can be grounds for disfellowshipping from the Christian congregation, but not for obtaining a Scriptural divorce. A person who brazenly advocates shocking and repulsive sexual activities would be guilty of loose conduct. Of course, a person with that attitude might even sink to committing porneia; then there would be a basis for a Scriptural divorce. How concerned all devoted Christians should be to avoid and war against all such "works of the flesh"!?Galatians 5:24, 25.
Stupidest thing I've ever heard. Opinions out the wazoo. They also make up a problem where non exists, who advocates any kind of sex act in the congo?
This is also a flip flop from a previous veiw which was a flip flop from a previous veiw.
